Even if you don't know her name, you can run the date of birth and the
baby's last name, I would assume she would of gave the 'real fathers' name
as the father, since she was not married - also I would get copies of those
newspaper aticles about the murder, suicide - as that is news and it may
contain things unrelated to what actually happened, also the obit on the
people that were killed or did suicide, then find the cemetery, find out who
paid for the funerals, who the survivors were, nobody is going to tell
anybody anything at AT&T, they have changed hands so many times, nobody
would remember who worked where, but if there is a person close enough to
get to a city directory for the time frame, then you would know who worked
at AT&T, also all adoptions are legal things and take about 1 and 1/2 years
to complete - if she put the child up for adoption, the notice had to be put
in the legal section of the newspaper (not necessarily the closest
newspaper) and if she listed the father, then he had to sign away his
parental rights for the baby to be legally adopted, if he did not and she
knew where he was, she could not have the child adopted - what state were we
in, what are the adoption laws in the state and what are the laws for having
a child born out of wedlock legitimized so he can inherate just as a normal
child would - the woman had to have been know by whoever lived at the place
where the murder/suicide took placxe - look for the newspapers - I have lost
the original post - if you want send the info again to just my e-mail so I
will have it - what are the adoption laws for the state now, in Al prior to
1991 you could not get access to your original birth certificate, we passed
the law and now all adult adoptees can get their original birth
certificates, which usually has their mothers name on it and sometimes the
fathers also. Adoption is becoming more open than it was back then. Just
some thoughts!

| Would welcome any and all help. If we just knew her name. Still waiting
for the newspaper archive to come through with some info.
|
| For myself, I can't understand why they didn't want to see the baby. They
treated her horribly. Many months after the funeral she wrote to them and
tried to get them to see him (the baby) but they refused to answer and told
their daughter they threw the letters away. It baffles me personally. She
obviously, in my mind, truly cared for Bruce, he was a good friend and they
had some arrangement to work out caring for thier son. I just hope its not
to late for them to make amends and for this young man to know his father
cared a great deal and was very happy he was born.
